Gameplay

The table consists of seven columns, with the first column containing one card, the second column two cards, the third column three cards, and so on. The top card of each column is face-up; the remainder of the cards are face-down. The rest of the cards (24) are left face-down to form the stock.

The object of the game is to move the four aces, as they appear, to the top right boxes, and build each up in suit from ace to king (A-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K).

Turn cards face-up from the stock three at a time onto a wastepile by clicking the top left box. The top card of the wastepile may be played onto the seven columns or the top right boxes. Likewise, the top card of each pile is available for play onto the foundations or another tableau pile. Cards within the columns may be build down in sequence and alternating color. A sequence of cards may be moved as a unit from one pile to another. When a face-down tableau card is exposed, click it to turn it face-up. If a space is created amongst the columns it may only be filled with a king. The stock may be recycled from the wastepile when it becomes empty by clicking the empty top left box. When either all the top right boxes are filled, or when no more moves are possible (or when the only possible move is to recycle the stock) click the "New Cards" button to play another deal.

There are two different modes in spogglitaire: Fun and Compete. In Fun mode there's no time limit and no direct competition between the players in a room. The objective is to play the ultimate round of Spogglitaire (1040 points). You also have plenty of time to chat with the other players and see how they play. In Compete mode the objective is to get the most points in 10, 15 or 20 minutes. Winning will boost your ranking points but to get a high score you must play in Fun mode.

Scoring

You receive points for every card you put in any of the top completion boxes (20 points in Fun and 100 points in Compete mode). You lose points for moving cards from one heap to another. You can't have a negative score (this is a hint for receiving maximum score in the Fun high score mode). When pressing the "New Cards" button you will reset your score in Fun mode and you will lose 100 points in Compete mode, the high score list only shows the best scores from the Fun mode. Your ranking score will only be affected by the results in Compete mode.

Game Settings

There is a tab called settings in the lobby that allows you to turn the in-game music on/off as well as the sound effects.
